In Region 2, there is an annual limit of 10 adult chinook. All retained adult chinook must be immediately recorded on the back of your freshwater angling licence.
An "adult chinook" in Region 2 is defined as being over 50 cm except in the following areas and during the following times when an adult chinook is defined as being over 62 cm:
a) the Fraser River between the CPR bridge at Mission to the powerline crossing approximately 1 km above the Aggasiz/Rosedale bridge from September 1 to December 31;
b) the Chilliwack/Vedder River downstream of Slesse Creek including that portion of the Sumas River downstream from the Barrow Town Pump station to boundary signs near the confluence with the Fraser River from July 1 to December 31; and
c) the Capilano River from January 1 to December 31.
